Leviticus 27

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your estimation.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Adonai in a vow, according to your valuation,

3 And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

your valuation of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels [1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g).

4 And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.

If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels [12 oz; 3/4 lb; 340.2 g].

5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels [8 oz; 1/2 lb; 226.8 g], and for a female ten shekels [4 oz; 113.4 g].

6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels [2 oz; 56.7 g] of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels [6 oz; 170.1 g], and for a female ten shekels [4 oz; 113.4 g].

8 But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.

9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man gives of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

“‘If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Adonai, all that any man gives of such to Adonai becomes holy.

10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Adonai, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you value it, who are the priest, so shall it be.

and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto your estimation.

But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.

14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Adonai, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

“‘If a man dedicates to Adonai part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer [6.33 bushels; 59 gal; 220 L] of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels [1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] of silver.

17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to your estimation it shall stand.

If he dedicates his field from the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be decreased from your estimation.

But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee ·Shofar·, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any way redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

21 But the field, when it goes out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee ·Shofar·, shall be holy to Adonai, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.

22 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

“‘If he dedicates a field to Adonai which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of your estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Adonai.

24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

In the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year· the field shall teshuvah ·completely return· to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25 And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g; or called twenty gerahs [20/50 of an oz].

26 Only the first born of the beasts, which should be the LORD's first born, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.

“‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Adonai, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep. It is Adonai’s.

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.

If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

“‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Adonai of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Adonai.

29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

“‘No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

“‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Adonai’s. It is holy to Adonai.

31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Adonai.

33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

These are the mitzvot ·instructions· which Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out] for the children of Israel [God prevails] on Mount Sinai [Thorn].
